It isn’t new for NBA Fans to see New York Knicks star Karl Anthony-Towns as one of, if not the zestiest player in the NBA. And it didn’t shock them when X/Twitter page @NBAMemes shared a video on Tuesday of Towns showing off his girly dance moves, and Fans wondered if it was truly real.
One user, @parlay_play, didn’t hold back andwrote, “No AI detected.” Meanwhile, user @buyinglower doubled down,commenting, “This is not AI,” while user @Kashmunayeeshared a GIF of Towns passing a ball, but with his signature zesty twist.

NBA Fans were really convinced that the clip was real, even though it’s clear that it is an AI-enhanced video.
However, this didn’t stop the NBA Fans from holding back. Because they were so convinced that Towns can do that with no AI, Fans like user @LabaronGotNext are writing, “This something he would actually do.”
“Finally not AI video. So refreshing,” one user hilariously wrote.
“Why does everyone think this is AI?” one user remarked.
“Doesn’t even look fake, except he would usually scream ahhh thassa foullllll,” one user posted.
“N**** that’s just him naturally,” one user wrote.
NBA Fans have always aimed barbs at Towns’ flair-filled style on the court, but his impact on his team remains undeniable. Towns remains one of the Knicks’ most reliable defensive stars, and while he’s not the best at times, he can still provide offense with the ball.
But NBA Fans always find everything to make fun of stars like Towns. Social media already has tons of clips of Towns doing zesty shots, defense, everything, to the point that people see him as a girly, zesty center. However, Towns has openly stated that he is heterosexual and has a girlfriend, but this, of course, wouldn’t stop the NBA Fans from speculating his sexuality.
NBA Fans believe Towns can do better than stylized video
NBA Fans found themselves laughing at the stylized clip of Towns dancing with a girly, over-the-top twist. However, some Fans have insisted that no AI will ever surpass Towns in truly being zesty.
User @FwogRoss was one of these NBA Fans,writing, “even this AI vid can’t out-sass the real KAT.” Meanwhile, user @tokeshibba believes that even Towns will find the video funny,posting, “Kat will watch this and say ‘oh yeah chupapi.'”

Outside of the fact that Towns is the zestiest big man in the league, NBA Fans can continue to show love to him as he plays against the Brooklyn Nets at Wednesday.
